A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
